Good post, Keith. Your analogy about weeds is correct and I had already come to that same conclusion before coming to that part of your post. Nobody can deny the effectiveness of these infiltrating stings, and I'm glad these bad guys are being stopped before they can commit mass murder.

Keith,

Your post was interesting and insightful, but it left me with more questions. I've always wondered why we haven't had another attack on our own soil since 9/11. If there is a will, then certainly in the past 8 years they would have found a way.

The recent plots were all foiled through the FBI setting up the would-be terrorist, supplying (fake) explosives and prompting the person to use them. Without the FBI's involvement, I wonder if these men would have actually committed them. I'm not implying that the person is innocent (by any means! I expect them to be properly found guilty following a trial, which is their right). I'm just wondering on whether they would have acted eventually without the FBI prodding them along.

This country is rich with opportunities for a terrorist to spread terror, so why is it that in 8 years we've seen nothing?
